As of now, all travellers flying into Scotland from outside the UK must take a day 2 PCR Covid-19 test after arriving back in the country - as well as one up to two days before.
This adds an extra step to travel plans for those looking to escape for a few days of winter sun, as well as an additional cost to consider since the free NHS tests cannot be used.
Those who are fully vaccinated may leave isolation after receiving a negative test result from this day 2 test.

Cheapest and quickest Day 2 PCR tests in Glasgow
Everybody over the age of 11 must take a PCR test on or before the second day after arriving in Scotland, and cannot leave isolation until this test comes back negative.
This means that the sooner you can take your test and get your result, the quicker you can stop self-isolating.
Therefore, speed is an important factor when deciding which provider to take your day 2 test with - though typically a faster turnaround equates to a more expensive test.
